According to Burns and Martin, she referenced Harris\u2019 debate-stage attempt to paint then candidate Joe Biden as a racist \u2014 citing his friendships with known segregationists and his opposition to busing \u2014 and she wondered to an adviser whether there wasn\u2019t a better choice among the millions of other Americans who might be available.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cSpeaking in confidence with a close adviser to her husband\u2019s campaign, the future first lady posed a pointed question. There are millions of people in the United States, she began. Why, she asked, do we have to choose the one who attacked Joe?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Jill Biden\u2019s spokesman, Michael LaRosa, made it clear that the first lady had no plans to comment on the book. \u201cMany books will be written on the 2020 campaign, with countless retellings of events \u2014 some accurate, some inaccurate. The first lady and her team do not plan to comment on any of them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The book also suggests that the first lady was not the only one who questioned Harris\u2019 abilities. White House Communications Director Kate Bedingfield reportedly complained about Harris as well, suggesting that the problems in her office might be about her rather than her staffers.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cIn private, Bedingfield had taken to noting that the vice presidency was not the first time in Harris\u2019s political career that she had fallen short of sky-high expectations: Her Senate office had been messy and her presidential campaign had been a fiasco. Perhaps, she suggested, the problem was not the vice president\u2019s staff.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Bedingfield has denied ever making such comments, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/newsletters\/playbook\/2022\/03\/22\/friction-between-harris-and-biden-camps-revealed-in-new-book-00019145\">telling Politico<\/a>, \u201cThe fact that no one working on this book bothered to call to fact check this unattributed claim tells you what you need to know. Vice President Harris is a force in this administration and I have the utmost respect for the work she does every day to move the country forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The book <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/administration\/599181-new-book-reveals-frustrations-between-biden-harris-camps\">also alleges<\/a> that Harris felt frustrated at times \u2014 and even blamed President Biden for some of those frustrations. After specifically asking to help with the push for both election overhaul bills \u2014 the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the Freedom To Vote Act \u2014 Harris reportedly complained that unless Biden forcefully declared his willingness to support senate rule changes, she could not hope to move the measure forward.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cHow was she supposed to communicate clearly about voting-rights legislation, Harris asked West Wing aides, when the president would not even say that he supported changing the Senate rules to open the path for a bill?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Biden did eventually say that he would support such rule changes \u2014 but because Senator Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/thats-bulls-don-lemon-unloads-on-sinema-and-manchin-for-celebrating-mlk-while-blocking-election-overhaul\/\">did not support<\/a> the rule changes, the bills were still stalled in the Senate.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
